Trailer Anti-Theft....

How often do you use the trailer?

Seldom use it.... Bought it to avoid paying $100 to have my Gator or B3200 hauled literally three miles to the dealer(s)...

Nothing that can't be defeated given access and time with the right tool(s).

Do you have a fence and a gate? That is first.

Is it a bumper pull trailer or GN?

Bumper pull...

i put a chain through the wheels. i know someone could drag it, but if they are that dedicated, i am not sure they would get too far down the road before they had an issue.

You can get a GPS tracker for cheap and mag mount it under the deck (wood, not metal). The device will notify you via text message if the trailer moves. Then just call the cops and have them go get it and the perps too.

I like that idea... I'll do some research!

A good insurance policy.

Take the wheels off

My 14k trailer is 100% theft proof if anyone comes on my property with intent to intent steal it.

The secret is to put it somewhere else! It’s actually at a friends where it has a gate, security (with dogs) and cannot be seen from the road.

Also add it to your car insurance. Our 12K dump is about $20 a year and at least it is covered if something happens.

Be sure it's a heavy enough chain and lock. I used a 1/4" chain and padlock. When I went to move it, i'd forgotten about the chain. All that happened was a loud "pop" and hardly a hesitation in movement. The padlock popped and I don't use cheap padlocks.
